Tips for Increasing Literacy in Your Home
Primary
Take turns thinking of two words that end with the same sound. Examples, mom, some; dog, rug; fun, ran; paper, feather.

Secondary
Read the same young adult novel as your teen. You could get valuable insights into the concerns and pressures felt by teens. You may find that these books provide a neutral ground on which to talk about sensitive topics.
